DTS

Hi,
When i save a DTS package within msdb i must provide a
valid login to save it. If i schedule the package with the
DTS schedule options (right click on the DTS object), it
will create a job with a dtsrun step with the login and
password, that i provided when it was saved, encrypted for
load the DTS. I'm i right '
Suppose i save the package with dtsadmin user, where can i
found the information about the user that saved the
package ' i need this info ' suppose i change the user's
password, my job will not run any more until i rebuild the
DTSrun encrytion with the new password.
Thanks
PhilNot exactly. The package is saved with an owner who is the
logged in user who created the package. You do not have to
provide any information to save a package.
If you schedule it through Enterprise Manager, it is
scheduled with the currently logged in users credentials.
The owner and the credentials used when scheduling the
package can be different. Additionally, if it's all done
through Windows authentication, you wouldn't have a user id
and password.
The user and password used in the encrypted string for
dtsrun is not stored anywhere.
In terms of changing passwords, that's part of the reason
that Windows authentication is preferred. The biggest reason
is that it's more secure but it also often eliminates
maintenance issues such as this.
